Reply to comment by TwilitSky in NYC proposes strict Airbnb registration rules to take effect in January by Eriosyces

If you're comparing a single hotel room to an Airbnb, the hotel wins out in almost all circumstances.

Airbnb can sometimes win out if it's a group of people and you're comparing like 3-4 hotel rooms to 1 Airbnb rental.

At that point shouldn't you be comparing a suite to an airbnb?

I think most suites don’t have multiple bedrooms.

Usually hotel suites are exactly that—2 or more bedrooms

I’ve never seen a 4 bedroom hotel suite.

They exist. Many hotels will also let you create one by booking a one or two bedroom suite and one or more adjoining rooms

Most hotels that have adjoining rooms only adjoin one other room. You're not going to be able to daisy-chain like 4 rooms together.

Two normal rooms will be cheaper than a two bed suite normally.

I’ll look for AirBnBs if I’m traveling to somewhere known for local ingredients. Think Italy, France, Spain, etc. I enjoy having a kitchen and going to local markets to put together some meals. A metropolitan place like New York tho? Eh, give me the hotel room.

I consider location as well. Not for NYC so much, but when I visit family upstate I can get an airbnb room more or less down the street, or a hotel a half an hour away. I'll generally opt for a hotel room over an airbnb, but hotels get scarce in non tourist areas.

AirBNB still hits a sweet spot, which is full rentals with kitchens, W/D, etc. They can be priced very well for week+ stays in such types of places. Works well for people with dogs, and doing remote work, and such. Not a great option for NYC, I'd say though.
